5:56 PM IST Cometh the hour, cometh the champion. How many times have we used this for Mumbai Indians? With 4 wins in 8 games, and 3 of those coming on the trot, MI find themselves in 6th spot, just 2 points away from the table toppers! They now head to Hyderabad, to meet the Sunrisers Hyderabad, another team from the bottom, on Wednesday, 23rd April, 2025. On the other hand, time is quickly running out for Chennai Super Kings. Or it already has. With just 4 points from 8 games, they need to win each and every game to give themseves even an outside chance of a playoffs qualification. They too, meet Sunrisers Hyderabad in their next clash, but that game will be at the Chepauk, on Friday, 25th April, 2025. Gives them some time to reflect on this loss.

5:55 PM IST MI's ROHIT SHARMA HAS BEEN ADJUDGED THE PLAYER OF THE MATCH, for his blistering unbeaten 76 (45). Rohit praises the Wankhede crowd for supporting good cricket and says that it was a good day for Mumbai Indians. On his batting slump, Sharma says that having been at this stage for so long, it is easy to get confused and start trying different things, but he says that he never doubted himself and just focussed on maintaining his processes. On him not overhitting the ball in this game, RS says that holding one's shape is extremely important while batting. Details that he wanted to hit the ball but did not want to lose his balance either. Aims to have a clear mindset going forward and bat the way he has been, for the past few months. On him being an impact sub and coming out to field for 3-4 overs rather than directly coming out to bat, Rohit Sharma says that there was some discussion regarding this and he did do that for a couple of games, but feels that it does not make much of a difference. However, he adds that he is ready to do whatever the management wants. On him hitting towering sixes. Rohit jumps off the question saying that the win was more satisfying and as a team, he now wants his side to win a couple of more games on the trot. On a stand about to be named after him at the Wankhede, Sharma calls it a great honour, remembering that in his childhood days, sometimes they were not allowed inside the ground and is not sure how will he react when the stand does get named after him.
